Despite a myriad grapes grown across this region, it is often said that the Carignan variety is the genuine grape of Southern France. Winemaker Thomas Verdeil selected Carignan grapes from vines of between 30 and 50 years in age. These gnarled old vines may produce less grapes than younger vines, but their fruit tends to be smaller with more concentrated flavours, helping to create intensely fruity and complex wines such as this., Grape Variety 100% Carignan , Country of originFrance, RegionPays D'OC, More information Bottle size750 ml, Alcohol content13 %, Alcohol units per bottle9.8, Alcohol units per serving1.6, Serving Size125 ml, AllergensSulphites, Stopper typeSynthetic Closure, Consume Within12 months of purchase, Bottling Address Les Domaines Auriol at 11200 Lezignan France, Product information Ca’ di Alte Veneto Pinot Nero, Vintage2013, A light and fresh tasting Pinot Nero with a pretty ruby red colour and ripe aromas of summer cherries, liquorice and perfumed flowers.

Although from Piemonte, Alberto has been working in the Northeast Veneto region for some years. He has been responsible for dramatically improving the quality of the wines at Cantina Colli Vicentini. The Pinot Nero grapes for this wine were grown on the hills South of Vicenza, the Colli Berici, where the hillside sites experience cooler nights and allow the aromatic compounds of the grapes to develop. Alberto captured the delicate aromas of the grapes in the winery, ageing 30% of the wine in oak to add depth and complexity., Grape Variety 100% Pinot Noir, Country of originItaly, RegionVeneto, More information Bottle size750 ml, Alcohol content12.5 %, Alcohol units per bottle9.4, Alcohol units per serving1.6, Serving Size125 ml, AllergensSulphites, Stopper typeScrew Cap, Consume Within12 months of purchase, Bottling Address Colli Vincentini sca, Viale Europa 109, Montecchio Maggiore Vincenza, 36075, Italy, Product information El Circo, Vintage2012, A concentrated red from Northeast Spain with sumptuous aromas of poached cherries and blackcurrants over hints of leather and orange peel.

The continental climate in this region, with its cold winters and hot summers, is mitigated by the cool and dry Cierzo wind, which blows through the vineyards and dries the grapes as they ripen. Chilean winemaker Marcelo Morales Calderon came for the vintage 13 years ago and stayed, excited by both the quality of the fruit and the high standard of the facilities he had – and still has – at his disposal., Grape Variety 50% Garnacha, 50% Cariñena, Country of originSpain, RegionCarinena, More information Bottle size750 ml, Alcohol content13.5 %, Alcohol units per bottle10.1, Alcohol units per serving1.7, Serving Size125 ml, AllergensSulphites, Stopper typeScrew Cap, Consume Within12 months of purchase, Bottling Address Grandes Vinos Y Viñedos S.A.
